Very beautiful church, with a few light and candles. The view is maybe the most beautiful view of the city!!!

The Monastery, the church and the view are all great. One of the best sights of the city situated in the old part of it called Ano Poli

This is an ancient place. I could only get access to the church. It is worth a visit.Not many mosaics remain inside which is a terribly shame. I was very impressed withthe peacocks outide. I should say that there would be more than 20! Such beautifulcreatures! I found getting to this place to be confusing. Make sure you know what itis on the map before you leave.

The Vlatadon Monastery is the only Byzantine monastery still functioning in Thessaloniki. The monastery was founded between 1351-1371 by Dorotheos Vlatis, a disciple of Grigorios Palamas, one of the city’s most spiritual figures. The monastery was also known as the Tsaous Monastir during the years of Turkish rule, a name that is still heard. The privileged position of the monastery at the point where the water conduit, bringing water down from Mt. Hortiatis, branched off down into the city, assured the monks favourable treatment from the Turkish officials. But the importance of the monastery and its wealth. The catholicon is a rare variation of the cruciform inscribed type, in which the dome is not supported on columns but on the walls of the chancel and on two pillars on the western side. This peculiarity was dictated by the existence of an earlier church on the same site, the remains of which were preserved in the 14th century church and shaped its construction. Restoration work in 1980-81 uncovered wall paintings dating from 1360-1380. The screen most probably dates from the 17th century, with repairs of the 19th century. The sacristy of the monastery contains a large collection of noteworthy icons, dating from the 12th to the 19th century.The monastery’s position, close to the byzantine walls and with a splendid view over the city, makes the place an ideal spot for relaxation and a starting point for short walks among the picturesque houses of the old city. Nearby points of interest: The Walls, the Church of Agios Nickolaos Orfanos, Church of Ossios David (Latomou Monastery), the tourbes (Mausoleum) of Mousa Baba, Tsinari area and many more. Worth visiting them all.

The church in the middle is beautiful and on the right side corner of the apse is a place where St Paul preached and wrote his letters. A quiet place to relax after our long walk. Thessaloniki is a good walking city as landmarks connects from one end to the other. We enjoy navigating through narrow streets with stairwells.This is just one of the places where St Paul preached while in Thessaloniki. The place has an amazing view looking down.

The monastery is built on a rocky and steep terrain formatted properly. About high wall surrounding the monastery. The view from the "balcony", the opening is directly opposite the main entrance, is excellent. Visitors can have a panoramic view of Thessaloniki and Pieria mountains looks like Olympus, very clean, when weather permits.It is the only monastery that operates continuously until today. The Creation date is somewhere in the 14th century, but it can be defined precisely. But certainly before the fall of Constantinople, because there is evidence of partial destruction, after the fall of Constantinople

If you want a break from the city centre, a visit to the city's old town is worthwhile. And when you are there, make sure you go to Vlatadon Monastery and read about the religious history of the site, while enjoying some magnificent views of the city. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere along with the friendly and polite monks will give you a different perception of the city and its history.

A lovely quiet place to visit and maybe just sit and contemplate.Inside is lovely and just right after the hustle of the city.Well worth a visit.
